Etazocine

Etazocine (NIH-7856) is an opioid analgesic of the benzomorphan family which was never marketed.[1][2] It acts as a partial agonist of the opioid receptors, with mixed agonist and antagonist effects.[1] In animal studies, it was shown to induce analgesia, dependency, and respiratory depression, with overall effects similar to those of morphine, but with substantially reduced potency in comparison.[1][2][3]
